Morlocks evolve underground from "summary" of The Time Machine by H. G. Wells
The Morlocks, a species living underground, have evolved to become a dominant power in their environment. They have adapted to the dark depths of their subterranean world, where they are able to thrive and gain strength.- The Morlocks, a species that evolved underground, live in dark tunnels beneath the surface world.
- By living in isolation and protecting themselves from the forces of nature, the Morlocks have managed to successfully establish a mysterious kingdom unrecognized by the rest of the world.
- With no access to sunlight, the Morlocks developed an extreme aversion towards it so much so that exposing them to its rays can cause intense pain and disorientation.
- Over centuries, they have adapted to their environment and developed traits that enabled them to thrive in this hidden realm.
- They possess large claws that allow them to dig through solid rock with ease and many of their other features also hint at their subterranean origins.
- Their physiology is nearly translucent which serves to make them better camouflaged deep in the earth's bowels, away from daylight.
- Living in complete darkness, they are sensitive to even low levels of light making above ground travel extremely uncomfortable.
- Their diet consists mainly of small animals and food sources found near or beneath the surface allowing them to survive without venturing out into the open too often.
- To compensate for their lack of sight, these creatures have remarkable hearing skills that enable them to detect sounds from far away.
- Amongst their most distinguishing features is their language; spoken entirely through clicks and hisses reminiscent of the calls of some amphibians.
